History 

Parkview P.S. has served the Unionville community since 1966. As a result, Parkview has established many long-standing traditions, and has earned its reputation as "A Great Place to Be".

Facilities 

Parkview P.S. is located on Fonthill Boulevard just west of Main Street (old Kennedy Road), Unionville. 

The school was officially opened in 1966 as a one story building. 

Additions were placed on the original school in 1967. Further additions in 1992 and 1995 have resulted in Parkview having 21 classrooms, 4 portables, a gym/auditorium and music room. 

Parkview is wheel chair accessible with an electronic front door. Over the past few years the school community developed an accessible, environmental playground structure with wetland reclamation and aviary. Parkview now has a full sized library that also houses a computer/digital/video editing lab.

Every student has the right to learn in a safe and supportive environment. The York Region District School Board has a Safe Schools Policy and a defined procedure to implement the policy. Both the policy and procedure support the view that student discipline involves a continuum of support including prevention, intervention and appropriate consequences. 

In addition, Parkview P.S. is committed to equity and inclusive education. These beliefs are integrated into the regular programming to create an inclusive school environment that is safe, supportive and respectful to everyone within our school community. Parkview P.S.
